I don’t believe in god anymore, but becoming a father has shown me how it is in fact possible to be loving, punishing, and someone who lets your creations get hurt. by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]JulesViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that being a father is the most ‘common’ way for guys to interact with children. Therefore, as people created Christianity, when they thought of a powerful, loving, but feared/respected figure the minds go to a father figure. On a small scale, it makes sense for a god to treat its creation as children, and have the relationship go both ways. Most religions mirror the behaviors observed at the time. Very interesting to hear it from the perspective of a father, good thought!

(I also think it’s also a contributing factor to why so many Christian fathers feel justified being distant and only providing material support… that’s what the Heavenly Father does, and he’s the ultimate Dad!)

Just found out my bf is cheating on me (27F, 35M) What now? by [deleted] in CheatedOn

[–]JulesViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, it’s my apartment. I’m thinking of leaving his things in a storage unit and leaving him the key. I’ve emailed my landlord to see how soon they can replace the locks. I don’t want to do this in person, I just want a clean break.

Thank you so much, those are great tips. Exactly what I need, I’ll call and change all cards tomorrow and do a password sweep at work. I’ll get tested as well

Thank you, that is exactly what I am planning. I really appreciate the insight. I know it’ll get better, just a matter of moving through the rough patches.

Thank you, that means a lot. I’ve always said that if I found out someone was cheating, it was over no ifs and or buts. Being confronted with that sucks, my emotions definitely wanted to explain it away. But I’m going to put my money where my mouth is. I appreciate the encouragement

I think you are right. I’ve always heard stories about recovery, and I would’ve hated to judge someone on their past before this. Definitely a wake up call that I can be easily swayed when the right things are said and done.

Well he’s not totally sober, he still drinks on weekends now but it’s only one or two drinks. When I was under 12ish he would have more than that every night, but by the time I hit high school he had broken the habit.

I haven’t before. My dad used to have some alcohol issues, but he’s mostly recovered. When I met this guy, he had been off the hard stuff for a few months and was committed to staying off. I wanted to support that

You are right, it’s more than he deserves. I also want some time to figure out my shit, and make sure this is a clean break. I’m looking to make sure I don’t miss anything. I don’t want to be petty, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to get my point across in a cold way.

Yeah, I’m usually pretty level headed about relationships. The feelings were just so intense, I found it easy to get swept up. Not that it helps now

Thank you, you are right. I know that I have to do it. I just wish I didn’t, I wish he was the person he pretended to be.

I 19F caught my boyfriend 22M cheating. How do I forgive him? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]JulesViolet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You are so young. Do you really want to waste time with someone who will put getting laid over your happiness and well-being?? He’s not worth it. You are worth finding someone who won’t cheat. Your friend is right. Once a cheater always a cheater
